Wow, I checked wikipedia and apparently mentioned the part where he is dead. I’ll stop for now and get back once I get my mind back together.

Was this person head of state for South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Madagascar, Lesotho, Eswatini, Malawi, or the Comoros?

No, we don't know that. Read my earlier question again.
Oh, great! I just did a bunch of useless research on current heads of state.

Do we have reason we can’t believe him to be dead? Maybe I’m just looking over something though
The first question specified "living".
Thank you
Hmm, I did not read the first question as necessarily asking about somebody who is currently alive; I read it more like 'real live human'.

Well this kind of changes everything. We've all been asking questions under the assumption that this person is alive. It could be some Inca emperor for all we know.

Question 1 pretty clearly asked if he was "living":
Real living human
If he is not, QM, I humbly submit that you owe us a few clues.

Does this person have a source of fame of similar or bigger size compared to his role in government?
Conditional free guess (used if yes, not used if no):
George Weah
Retract this question and guess please
I accept the retraction, but only because the question wasn't an especially clear yes-or-no question. See rule Ⅲ, which specifies that I must answer all valid questions.

Hint: I almost didn't answer the first question since it took some research to determine my chosen individual's approximate height.

To clarify, is the QM saying that this person is not in fact alive anymore? Or are we still guessing living people?

I feel like it's heavily implied to the point where asking would be a waste of a question.

This game is getting frustrating. A while back a QM told us the subject was in the Politburo during WW2, when in fact he was appointed in 1946. Now the QM tells us he is "living" and we cannot trust that that in fact means he is, you know, living?

Regardless, I'd just like to know what questions are true and what are not, so I can reassess what we're looking at for information and how many questions we have left

I saw that complaint from a previous game. I didn't research it but it does sound to me like a blatant error. I hope never to make a blatant error like that.
